Reniec

A significant data breach occurred involving the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status known as Reniec in Peru. Although the raw input mentions Spain the acronym Reniec specifically refers to the Peruvian national registry system. In 2018 reports surfaced regarding the exposure of sensitive personal information belonging to approximately 3 million citizens. The incident involved the unauthorized distribution of civil registry data which included full names addresses dates of birth parental details and citizenship status. This type of exposure poses a long term risk for identity theft and fraudulent activities as it involves permanent civil identification records.
